BREAKING NEWS: Juventus Dead (1897-2010)

New York Times - The famous Old Lady died this evening after a longlasting illness.

Four years ago Juventus Football Club suffered a severe breakdown with Calciopolitis. Immediate intervention by famous specialists Alessando Del Piero, Gigi Buffon, David Trezeguet, Pavel Nedved and Mauro Camoranesi saved the clubs life.

After a phase of Rehabchielliniation and promising Marchisiotion the organisation seemed on its way of recovery. In the last 12 months, however, the condition deteriorated constantly. The club suffered from Ferrara problems, Zaccheronitis, Grosso's Disease and Grygera fever which were incurable.

The Old Lady died today in New York after three Red Bulls. The club will be missed by millions of supporters around the world.
I would +rep but I have to spread it around.

Just got back home from the match. Despite the abysmal result, I was so fucking happy to finally see Juve in action. To see hundreds of other people wearing the black-and-white, to see Del Piero, it was an awesome experience.

It's just too bad that the match was shit.
Few players did anything to indicate that they deserve to play for Juve. Iago looked decent, Amauri as always scored when it doesn't matter, Zebina's a moron. The team clearly doesn't have any footballing identity, which is something that Del Neri needs to fix ASAP.

Stadium was full of Juve supporters, and while few of them were willing to sing or chant, we had a couple Juve chants as well as a " Inter, vaffanculo" chant at the beginning. Fun day for sure, missed out on the autographs at the end, but finally met some of my fellow juventuz members :D
I don't know if Del Piero was any good yesterday, but what always struck me when seeing him live is the way he handles the ball. It's so.. right. It's as if he's always 100% in control.

As for the game, Italians don't often turn up for friendlies. A shame though.

"We're happy, aside from the result," Trezeguet said. "We saw there were Italian fans. There were no conditions for us to play a great match but we're happy no one got hurt.

"We're going to Canada to continue this tour and then we are going on holiday."
You are already on holiday, Trez, just admit it.

I've seen Del Piero live once (Ireland vs Italy in Dublin) and he was awful.

Yep. Probably the worst I've ever seen him give. It's a pity that it had to happen while I was in the stadium but it was good for Ireland I guess.
I only saw him play well to be honest. Saw him versus Udinese at the Delle Alpi in 2005 (had a very solid performance and received a standing ovation), Milan in 2006 (came on as a sub to replace Zlatan who had the worst game I've ever seen a striker play) and Bologna last February. A shame I never saw him play live in .. let's say 1998 when he added so much liveliness to his skills.
